'Kara' short film shows off beautiful graphics from developer Quantic Dream

Kara, a new short film from Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream, shows just what the studio is capable of, and all we have to say about it is “wow.” It is a breathtaking display of what the developer can achieve with the PS3's technology.

Following the assembly of a gynoid, Kara's premise explores a certain depth that comes with robots and AI that viewers are already quite familiar with. However, despite visiting familiar themes, Kara really sets itself apart with it's emotional substance and awe-inspiring display of CG design. The movie really leaves us wanting to learn more about the character, what happened, and what will happen to her. Given it's wonderful design and storytelling, we're a bit disappointed Kara isn't a trailer for a new game.

Astounding!!! 'Heavy Rain' was poupular for its fantastic graphics and facial expression...I'd like more innovations in gameplay for the next project of Quantic Dream.

It looks like emotional battle between robots and humans!!!!

Come on...Robots are not capable of showing 'emotions','sorrow', or 'anger'...unless somebody put some amount of pre-programmed stuffs It'll take another 5000 years to get a partial 'Terminator'...Emotions do not occur naturally in robots like human beings!!! (For example, freezing in every computers...Understand the human emotion, CPU)

I am confused is this a future game teaser or is this a game engine that someone made for games? If so I want to see this sorta stuff in all future games!

A tech demo by Quantic Dream. The same people who did one of the early PS3 tech demos before the console was released. In the end, Quantic Dream took that early tech demo and it became the basis for Heavy Rain, at least visually.

This is supposed to be another "Just a tech demo" but I wouldn't be surprised if it became a repeat of the Heavy Rain tech demo to Game process.

Kara was all in-game footage, so it said. But we'll see if games anytime soon look that good in-game.
